When people think of piano lessons, they usually imagine a child and teacher sitting on the bench together at the piano working quietly through their exercises. While some children thrive in the private lesson environment, many others find the group environment more fun, exciting, and engaging. The Simply Music Piano method is ideally suited to the group environment. Groups may vary in size from 2-6 students.

For group lessons, I’ve found it best when students come to me with their groups already formed. This is the perfect solution for two or more friends interested in beginning piano lessons together, siblings of similar age and ability, or a parent and a child.

However, if you don’t have a class partner in mind, I usually begin new groups in August and in January, though if four students are ready to begin, it’s possible to begin at any time of year. For preschool piano classes, it may be possible to join a class mid-term. To be added to my waiting list, REGISTER HERE.

“You will need to have access to an instrument. When choosing a piano or keyboard, budget is often an important factor. Almost all acoustic pianos have 88 keys, and have all of the preferred benefits and features. A local piano technician or piano tuner can provide valuable advice when you’re considering purchasing a second-hand instrument.

When choosing an electronic keyboard, there are certain features to look for. The more features, the higher the cost. Use the following guidelines (in order of importance):

Obviously there are numerous other features, many of which come as standard on many modern instruments. These, while potentially interesting and/or beneficial, are not a necessary part of a successful Simply Music experience.”
